Travis Pearson: A♣J♣9♥4♠3♦ All in
Ryan Moriarty: A♥K♣K♠4♦3♥ All in
David Avina: A♠7♠6♦4♣2♣

The board completed with the 7♥ turn and 9♦ river.

Pearson took three quarters of the main pot after rivering trip nines for the high, while sharing the low with Moriaty.

Moriaty scooped the side pot with his pair of kings and nut low to leave Avina short.

No-Limit Hold'em

Action was caught on the completed board of J♠4♦5♣10♣7♣. Dominick Sarle checked from the hijack, and Philip Hui fired out a bet of 17,000 into a pot of around 25,000.

Sarle mulled over his options before putting the call.

"Queen-high," announced Hui, who was left with around 5,000 after Sarle tabled 8♥7♥ for a pair of sevens.

The following hand, Hui moved all-in and Colton Blomberg called from the small blind.

"I've got it," said Blomberg, who tabled K♥K♣, ahead of Hui's Q♦10♦.

Hui was drawing dead after the 4♥2♣2♦ flop and 3♠ turn, and he headed to the reentry desk after the dealer dealt the river.
